the big picture

We got together with old friends tonight (our yearly college Bible study reunion) and realized that if some of them were having trouble placing where the addition is located in relation to our existing house, that maybe other people were, too. This of course is no help if you've never seen our house, but for reference, this is what the big picture looks like as of this evening.

You may notice that the work on the upper level that I talked up last Friday doesn't look like much. It doesn't. At least not from the ground. But if you look out those double windows in the existing upstairs, you can see the two fully framed, sheathed and wrapped end walls laying there just waiting, supposedly, for tomorrow. Our framer, for obvious reasons, doesn't want those two walls standing up like flags in the wind with nothing to support them, so he's got them ready and plans to put in a really long day tomorrow putting them up, building the supporting side walls, and putting up the rest of the trusses. Now that should be an exciting day!
